Egg storage beyond 7 days decreases hatchability and chick quality. The sensitivity of the embryo for prolonged egg storage may depend on the stage of embryonic development or the number of viable cells. This experiment investigated whether prestorage incubation (PSI) and frequently warming during storage (FW) affected egg characteristics, embryonic development, hatchability, and chick quality when storage time was prolonged.
